Since the system became my girlfriend

"What's wrong? Is it difficult?" Feng Lixi asked, leaning closer. Actually, she already knew the details of the mission.

"It's a bit troublesome. Let's go buy some medicine and level up first. I plan to log off early tonight and go to sleep, then log back on later tonight when there are fewer players, so the quest won't be disturbed," Su Rui said to Feng Lixi as he shared the quest details with her.

"It's alright, I'll keep an eye on things for you and make sure no one interferes," Feng Lixi said with a smile. She wasn't just trying to comfort her; as the system's goddess, if she were to designate a restricted area, even players using cheats wouldn't be able to get in!

"Okay! Then I'll have to trouble you to stay up all night with me." Su Rui was quite touched, after all, girls, especially pretty girls, generally don't like staying up late because it's bad for their skin.

"It's okay, I'm willing to stay with you," Feng Lixi said gently. In reality, she was in the game 24/7...

The two then walked hand in hand to the pharmacy owner, Mr. Wang. This time, Su Rui didn't hesitate and bought five large sets of treatment medicines in one go, putting them in his bag. Anyway, Mr. Su's wallet was bulging now, so he didn't care about the cost of the medicine.

"Let's go! Let's level up!" Su Rui took Feng Lixi's hand, and the two returned to the valley they had been in before, and continued to grind the rock golems.

With the arrival of these two, the valley gradually became lively, and many miners came to mine while Su Rui and Feng Lixi cleared out the safe zone.

In the following time, Su Rui and Feng Lixi easily killed monsters. Since Su Rui could solo these monsters, the two of them killed them even faster. Moreover, Su Rui no longer needed to rest after killing a monster. As a result, their monster-killing speed increased by at least 100%!

Su Rui and Feng Lixi spent several hours grinding monsters. Su Rui didn't even suggest going to lunch, and Feng Lixi naturally didn't have that need either. Su Rui finally stopped grinding around 5 p.m.

"That's about enough for today. We'll go online again at 2 AM!" Su Rui said to Feng Lixi.

"Hmm, that works too. How many puppet cores do you have now?" Feng Lixi asked.

"Let me take a look..." Su Rui opened his backpack and then checked the contents.

"A total of 855!" Su Rui was startled. He didn't expect that he and Feng Lixi were so efficient. If they didn't have that quest chain, they could have finished grinding for another half hour and directly turned in the puppet cores to level up to level 10 and leave the newbie village.

But now that he has that quest chain, Su Rui can't rush to graduate, because once he reaches level 10, he will have to leave the newbie village, and then his quest chain will be useless!

“I have more than fifty here!” Feng Lixi said with a smile.

"Huh? Where did you get the puppet core?" Su Rui was taken aback. All the puppet cores that the two of them got from killing monsters were with him. Feng Lixi had never picked up any corpses!

"I logged on early this morning and farmed some monsters by myself first," Feng Lixi said with a smile. Of course, she couldn't tell Su Rui that she had just casually farmed these cores; she could have as many as she wanted!

"I see..." Su Rui didn't think much of it. Since he could solo it, he had seen Feng Lixi's abilities, so soloing the disguise puppet should be no problem for him.

"Let's go back to the city and log off!" Su Rui said to Feng Lixi.

“Okay!” Feng Lixi nodded. Although she was a little reluctant, she knew that Su Rui couldn’t be in the game 24/7 like she was. He needed to rest, otherwise his body couldn’t take it.

The two walked hand in hand back to the starting village. Along the way, Su Rui carefully observed several players, whose levels were all between level five and six. Because Su Rui hadn't been leveling up at the same incredible speed as before, the other players' levels had gradually caught up.

"Xiao Xi, see you tonight!" Su Rui said to Feng Lixi.

"Okay! Bye-bye!" Feng Lixi said with a smile.

With a flash of white light, Su Rui logged off, and because he was in the safe zone, his character disappeared instantly.

"Alright, get back to what I'm doing!" Feng Lixi's smile vanished instantly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

At this very moment, in a grove of trees on the other side of the village, Gui Bai was happily grinding monsters. He was absolutely ecstatic. He didn't know why, but ever since he logged in today, every hit he landed was a critical strike, and his monster-killing efficiency was simply unbelievable!

Moreover, not only that, but the experience gained from killing monsters is also much higher than normal, sometimes double, sometimes triple, and at its highest, even ten times the experience!

This made his leveling speed like a rocket, not only surpassing Su Rui and Feng Lixi, but also leaving other players far behind!

"This is awesome! If this continues, I can stay up all night and reach level 10 by tomorrow morning. If I'm the first person to leave the newbie village, I'm sure I'll get a reward!"

"This game just started, and sure enough, it has bugs. That kid in the valley probably ran into one of these bugs the other day. I guess I'm just lucky today!"

Gui Bai was overjoyed. He watched as his experience bar steadily increased, and he was already more than three-quarters of level eight, almost reaching level nine!

"Old Bai, how did you level up so fast?" Kai Li hadn't seen Gui Bai all day, and when he finally finally saw him, he was shocked by Gui Bai's level.

"I'll just stay up all night!" Of course, Gui Bai couldn't say that he had encountered a bug, especially one that was in his favor!

"You're not telling the truth, are you? I've been up half the night, and I'm only at level six..." Kai Li didn't believe Gui Bai's nonsense at all, but he couldn't do anything about it if the other person wouldn't tell him.

"The monsters here respawn too slowly, I'll go somewhere else!" Gui Bai didn't want to level up with Kai Li, because his strange state would be easily discovered if they did.

"Hey?! Lao Bai, you..." Kai Li was furious with Gui Bai. Their relationship had been going well these past two days, so what was wrong with Gui Bai today? Why did his attitude suddenly become so bad?

After leaving the area, Gui Bai headed straight for a level 9 wolf monster zone to avoid being caught by others noticing his abnormal data. All the monsters here were level 9, and most players were around level 5 or 6, with very few level 7. Fighting level 9 monsters would be extremely difficult, so nobody came here to level up.

"Ding! You have killed a wolf! You have gained 150 experience points!"

After another tenfold experience boost, Gui Bai's level increased to level nine!

"Awesome!" Gui Bai let out a long, happy shout, unaware that a girl with flowing long hair was watching everything from above. Seeing Gui Bai's happiness, Feng Lixi's lips curled into a cold smile!

"Laugh, laugh, your time to cry is coming soon!" Feng Lixi sneered.
